But it would seem I didn't, I'm further behind than I realised. Lovely photos Dee, the garden is just beautiful and it just goes to show what can be done with a good imagination, great style and bloody hard work! Well done, you two, you've done a fantastic job on it!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816580427584989752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229512396126444945.post-69603105739630119232014-06-02T15:27:18.834-07:002014-06-02T15:27:18.834-07:00Thank you for your kind comment.

The first time for our 30th wedding anniversary in 2010, we visited several famous gardens and small private gardens. I and my wife were shocked by the beauty and glory of gardens in England, and we started to plan re-forming our garden on the return flight! <br /><br />I am so impressed by you two for your enthusiasm and energy. Your garden is so great, and if I could, I would visit your garden. <br /><br />I am looking forward to your new articles.

The nice thing about most garden's is that you can see something in one that you can take back to use in your own , even on a smaller scale or you see something that sets your own imagination flying.<br />The garden did shine on the day which was perfect.<br />Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421536902399459683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229512396126444945.post-56425319784772518352014-05-27T09:17:30.563-07:002014-05-27T09:17:30.563-07:00Truly MAGNIFICENT!
I have walked up and down your ...Truly MAGNIFICENT!<br />I have walked up and down your fabulous garden, time and time again and each time noticing things that I must have missed before.<br /><br />Adored the rose arch and the planting around the Cloisters. Loved the stone pathed winding pathways with the pebbles filling in the gaps.<br /><br />The formal rose garden with its box hedging is spectacular. (My daughter is hoping to plant some box hedging this year around her raised square patches set in her now newly pebbled front garden and I'm hoping that it looks as superb as yours does once it's established.)<br /><br />Great Herbacious boarder opposite Paul's work shed. This is, but on a much smaller scale, what I am trying to achieve within my tiny back garden plot. <br /><br />Super idea to place those pots in a circle around your sundial.<br /><br />Your patio area next to the house is so beautifully offset with the climbing rose on the back wall. I know which place/position I'd be wanting to sit at your garden table.<br /><br />I'm definitely going to add some of the smaller two square trellis to my new six foot fencing on the left side (when it arrives at the end of the Summer) to give me more privicy and then providing it's facing the right way for the sun I'll buy a Wisteria to train to run along that.<br /><br />All in all I think that my back garden is only the size of your flower garden room so not a lot of scope for me to achieve anything along your lines but......!
